🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between BTU per hour and tons of refrigeration • Unit conversion: how many BTU/hr are in one ton of refrigeration • Basic division to convert a heat load into required capacity

💭 Think About

• First, recall or look up how many BTU/hr are equal to one ton of refrigeration. • Next, take the given heat load (60,000 BTU/hr) and divide it by the BTU/hr value for one ton of refrigeration. • Compare your calculated tonnage to the answer choices and decide which listed size can handle that load.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the standard value: BTU/hr per ton of refrigeration before doing any math. • Check that your units match: you should end up with tons, not BTU/hr, after the division. • Confirm that the refrigeration unit you select is at least as large as the calculated requirement, not smaller.
